Hier chenilles, aujourd’hui papillons !

Butterflies first take their “steps” as caterpillars. They then enclose themselves in a chrysalis. After a few days, the cocoon cracks open, and a butterfly spreads its wings... the metamorphosis is complete!

To achieve this transformation, caterpillars use various tricks to evade predators: itchy hairs, subtle colors, or, on the contrary, bright colors to scare them off; some even disguise themselves!

Certain butterflies, like hawk moths, can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h! Others travel thousands of kilometers! Cocoons are even used to make silk!

"Hier chenilles, aujourd’hui papillons !" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
